Supported drones, cameras and controllers - PIX4Dcapture

Follow
Important: PIX4Dmapper, PIX4Dcloud, PIX4Dinspect, PIX4Dmatic, PIX4Dreact, and PIX4Dfields can process images taken virtually from any image acquisition app even if PIX4Dscan or PIX4Dcapture don't support the drone. For more information: Which image acquisition app can I use with Pix4D's software?

Drones and cameras supported by Pix4D's software and apps

Drones, cameras and controllers supported by PIX4Dcapture

The status of PIX4Dcapture support for the different drones, cameras, and controllers is described in the table below. When the app has not been tested, it means that the app could work, but Pix4D makes no guarantee.

If a non-DJI camera is mounted on DJI drones, PIX4Dcapture will not be able to trigger the camera. Making it work will rely on the fact that a time-lapse can be set in this custom camera. A specific functionality has been developed on iOS to keep the right overlap up to the camera specifications. More information here.

Recommendations to fly a drone that was not tested

The drone to be selected before starting a mission should be one of those having the same connection mode (Wi-Fi or USB cable).

 
Tip: The following drones are not officially supported by PIX4Dcapture. However, you may be able to fly your mission if you select the appropriate settings in PIX4Dcapture:
  • DJI Phantom 3 4K: Select Phantom 3 Advanced or Professional in PIX4Dcapture's settings.
  • DJI Phantom 4 Advanced: Select Phantom 4 Pro in PIX4Dcapture's settings.
  • DJI Matrice 600: Select Matrice 100 in PIX4Dcapture's settings.

    Hi everybody!
    Hm...as it looks DJI Mavic Air 2 is not supported at the moment!
    Will it ever?
    Kind regards,
    Bernd

    I just bought two drones, one for personal use (the Mavic Zoom) and the other for my university lab (Matrice 300 RTK with P1 and XT2). I'm disappointed that both aren't supported by Pix4D. Could you please advise if there are any plans for supporting both drones? I appreciate a response. Thank you!

    Hi Rania,

    Unfortunately, there are no plans to support these drones.

    Please keep in mind that our image processing software can process images taken from virtually any application as long as they are of good quality and overlap. For more information: Which image acquisition app can I use with Pix4D's software?.
